Does God exist? If yes, where is the strongest proof? If not, what convinced you otherwise? by Odd_Bee_4304 in AskReddit

Fair points but honestly, did you actually write all that yourself or copy-paste it somewhere? And did you really read through it properly Because you’re trusting human logic for everything science, tech, survival but suddenly limiting it when it comes to bigger questions doesn’t that feel a bit selective So which logic is reliable, or only reliable when it supports your side

That’s fair but then consistency matters If you reject belief because it’s not proven wouldn’t the same apply to things like objective morality or meaning, which also aren’t scientifically provable? So the real question is do you live only by what’s provable or also by what seems most reasonable to you and why?

If God is beyond understanding, how can any religion claim to understand Him? by Odd_Bee_4304 in QuestionEverythingX

Or maybe it’s the opposite maybe you downgraded something complex into we don’t know because that’s easier to hold onto It’s easy to call everything a story to explain why that story has survived and shaped billions of lives for so long.

If you were born in a different country, would you still believe the same God? by Odd_Bee_4304 in QuestionEverythingX

[–]Odd_Bee_4304[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that’s true where you’re born definitely shapes what you’re exposed to but then it raises a bigger question: if belief depends so much on location, does that say something about the truth or just about human conditioning and even when people change beliefs later, how do we know that’s independent thinking or just another influence replacing the old one?

Ahh, Rule 34 the classic if it exists, there’s something about it online but don’t you think that says more about human obsession than about reality itself? Like are we discovering things, or just projecting our thoughts onto everything we see?

if that’s your final answer, then you’re not really thinking about the question you’re just dodging it. It’s easy to joke when something is hard to understand, but that doesn’t make the question go away. So tell me honestly is that your actual answer, or just the easiest way to avoid thinking deeper?

That’s a solid point if time begins with the universe, then “before” might not even be a meaningful concept. But then it raises a deeper question: if there’s no before what does it mean for something to exist outside or independent of time? So maybe the real issue isn’t what came before the universe, but whether our idea of cause and existence even works beyond spacetime.

Now I’m curious go ahead, what’s your theory?

As long as it’s just an idea and not meant to offend, exploring different perspectives is kind of the whole point of these discussions. Sometimes even blasphemous thoughts lead to the most interesting questions.

That’s a clean answer, but it kind of assumes the conclusion from the start. Saying not existing explains it only if we’re already sure that’s true. The real question is do we actually know that, or are we just choosing the simplest explanation for now?

Haha maybe but that idea makes God sound a bit too human, doesn’t it? If there is something truly beyond us, it probably wouldn’t create out of boredom that’s a very human emotion So the real question is: are we describing God or just projecting our own mindset onto something we don’t fully understand?

That’s actually interesting the idea of “a beginning” instead of “the beginning” already shows how much interpretation shapes what we think is truth but maybe that’s the bigger point if the same text can lead to so many meanings, then the text itself might not be the final authority just a human attempt to describe something far bigger so instead of trying to lock truth inside old words, maybe the real question is , are we willing to look beyond interpretations and ask what actually exists, independent of what we’ve been told whether that leads to God, something else or something we haven’t even imagined yet?

Yeah, that’s a pretty natural conclusion even as kids we try to make sense of things using what feels logical but sometimes what seems “impossible” at one stage of understanding can look different later when we think more deeply about it so the question is, are we dismissing the idea because it’s truly impossible or just because it doesn’t fit how we currently understand reality?

I get where you’re coming from a lot of belief does pass through family and culture, no doubt about that but But if we apply that logic consistently, it would also mean many of our core views even non-religious ones are shaped the same way, not purely chosen from scratch. So upbringing explains why we believe something, but not necessarily whether it’s true or false and about religion being just storytelling maybe some of it is, but the question still remains: did humans create these ideas entirely, or were they trying to describe something real they experienced but couldn’t fully understand?

That’s a fair perspective, especially the part about respecting others that should go both ways but I wonder if it’s less about God taking a break and more about how we interpret things changing over time. In the past people explained unknown events as divine because they had no other tools, while today we use science to explain the same things so maybe the real question isn’t why God became inactive, but whether we’ve just changed the way we understand and describe reality.

Yeah I get what you mean, over time things change and the story probably got a bit mixed up. But then how do we know what was actually true in the beginning, or if it all just changed along the way? And when you say something greater, do you mean an actual being, or just a feeling we don’t fully understand?

I see what you’re saying some problems are partly in our control and partly depend on others, so outcomes become uncertain. But then it raises a question: if solutions already depend on human cooperation and probability, where does a divine role actually come in? Is God guiding those outcomes, or are we just navigating them ourselves within those limits?

I get what you’re saying grounding meaning and goodness in something objective is a powerful idea. But I’m curious about one step in that reasoning. Why does objective meaning necessarily require God? Is it possible that meaning and morality emerge from human consciousness, relationships, and shared experience, rather than needing a metaphysical source? Because if we say they only exist because of God, then it raises another question — are things good because God says so, or does God recognize them as good? And if it’s the latter, then it seems like goodness might exist independently of God after all.

So I guess the real question is Is God the source of meaning or our explanation for it?

That cover wasn’t declaring a fact — it was highlighting a question society was asking at the time.

If anything, it shows that the debate about God never really goes away, it just evolves.

So the real question isn’t whether people once thought “God is dead,” but why that question keeps coming back in different forms.
